Naa'tricia Imeen Green, 28, was found dead on Monday, May 22, 2023, in the 4400 block of Park Heights Avenue in Northwest Baltimore. She had suffered blunt force injuries. The Baltimore Police Department investigated, and the Baltimore Sun's homicide database lists her death as a homicide.
According to a police account reported by the Baltimore Witness, Northwest District patrol officers were sent to the 4400 block of Park Heights Avenue at about 10:35 a.m.
that Monday "for a report of an unresponsive female at the location." When they arrived, officers found Green "with obvious signs of trauma to the body." Medics came and pronounced her dead at the scene. Her body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, where her death was determined to be a homicide. WMAR-2 News listed her death in its daily tracker of killings and shootings in the city, using the same words from the police release. Homicide detectives asked anyone with information to contact them.
The police account leaves out a great deal. It does not say whether she was found indoors or outside, on the sidewalk or inside a home or business, or who called for help. It does not say how long she had been there, whether she lived on the block, or whether anyone heard or saw anything before she was found. Police did not describe a suspect or a possible motive, and no follow up report about the case could be found.
Beyond her name, her age and the block where she was found, almost nothing about Naa'tricia Imeen Green has been made public. No obituary, memorial page or family fundraiser could be found for this story, and no news outlet appears to have reported on her life or on her family's reaction to her death. She surely had family, friends or neighbors who remember who she was, but none of that has entered the public record. Her name was read among the city's dead by WYPR and printed by the Catholic Review, which asked readers to pray for each homicide victim by name.
Park Heights Avenue is one of the main roads of Northwest Baltimore, running north from the area near Druid Hill Park toward the city line. The corridor gives its name to the Park Heights community, a large and historic part of the city lined with rowhouses, churches, corner stores and small businesses. The Pimlico Race Course, home of the Preakness Stakes, sits just off the avenue to the north.
Homicides in Baltimore began falling steeply in 2023 and 2024, reaching the lowest totals in decades, yet many killings from those years remain unsolved.
